Yox.. missed mi? yeah.. here i am to update all my fellow consistent reader of my entries.. haha.. hmm to realli start it i really dunno how.. but the trip all i can say is that i feel super recharge and revitalised once again.. i learn to look things at different angle.. and i was once again touched my fellow comrades working so hard at bintan as well as great thanks to all whu were together in this wonderful enlightening journey.. ur great care and concern is really wonderful thruout the short trip as well as some other daes when we are busy preparing for this exchange.. reallY cheers to all of ya.. loving, sunny Ywds of student divison.. haha..

haha waiting for the exciting momment.. yeah.. on sun as mentioned in previous post, 30th april, went to SSA HQ to do our morning gongya togetther with youth chief as well as the 10 ymds from gajokai group.. they been wonderful in taking care of our safety as well as making sure we have seats on the ferry.. thank u peeps... oh ya.. back to the topic, finished our morning gongyo, we had sum briefing and words form melvin as well as jinhaw.. u could see how happy they are.. haha.. jinhaw even brought sum prune for us on the ferry so that we wun feel sick travelling on the ferry.. so sweet of her.. haha.. yep and i was in charge of taking care of that bag of prune haha.. but no owrries i din eat up aoll ok.. manage to finished sum on the way bag.. hahah
so we made way out to board our bus.. on the bus, was happily singing gakai song.. very one was high spirited men... singing and talking non stop.. haha.. atmosphere was pretty cool..

finally after 20 of ride, reach TNMR ferry terminal.. yeah.. all of us is so hight spirited that we stated our candid photo session.. haha.. however after waited for half an hour.. melvin came back to inform us tat the ferrry have left us, we have missed the ferry!!.. heard that? oh my.. my jaw drop immediately.. haha.. but he end up giving us a surprise tat we still have the 2pm ferry which is the earliest after then ten.. hmm.. come to think of it it is pretty suimilar with sensei in his nhr sunrise chapter vol 1 where by he took the first step to do kosenrufu in hawaii.. and he met with obstavcles as there is no leaders to receive him due to sum com break down with the agency and the leaders in hawaii.. and for us, the ferrry left without..

after waiting for a few min. we were been arranged to sit in to sum of our leaders car whu happens to be at ssa for morning gongyo with GD. got several ymd drove to terminal and fetch us back to HQ to rest as well as had our lunch and also chant for the success of our trip as well as theri nhr festival on sunrise..as they were targeting to reach out to 300 youths...!!

though we were pretty tired after all the to and fro of travel , nonthless our spirit was not dampened but all are pretty fast in action as we are afraud to miss another session of the time, things were done according to targeted timing such as lunch break, chanting session, sounveir touch up session as well as song singing session for the culture item which we gotta put up over there.. it was a pretty nice song "siao nian"

oh ya it is also most of our first time using the ichinen room near the gd office.. really cool.. got sofa and stuff to look at esp those gift receive from oversea, those shimmering swords presented as a gift to ssa as well as homly sofy sofa tat we sat at.. herad from the ymds tat room is used as a holding area for J3 the other time when they performed in YGM.. haha.. yepz.. before the clock even strike 1 we packed gather and left for the terminal again.. haha this time no more bus to sit but we sat on some of the leaders cars .. i was pretty lucky to sat in vice GD car... whom i had not even seen before as herad form cheng joo he is working over in sri lanka, flying here and there to help the members over there.. isn't it sumthing admirable? wah.. guess is because of all the pioneers whu fought so hard in the past in order for us to enjoy wat we have now.. such effort of determination to spread the wonders of our mystic law is really wonderful.. hehe.. well shall not go on more details if not i guess ur be dozing off soon.. haha..

FinallY!! yes we are on the ferrY.. ( penguin XXXXX).. oppx penguin? haha did i heard wrongly.. haaha..it was a pretty lomg alk from the ferry gate to the anchoring area where the ferry lies.. haha.. then shilei, linda and mi decided to" feel for the wind later"..understand? if not let show ya pic of "feel for the wind" episode.. haha..
yep , three of us are pretty excited that we can't really sleep.. so sat for a while while mi, shilei ,linda were talking abt how we became active and all.. was a pretty good sharing haha...crap alot.. yeah den we decide to jio the rest to go but sum are pretty sick from the motion of the ferry and sum are too tired after all the waiting time.. so only three of us the active ones boldly walk to the back and up the staircase we reach the area where we could feel the breeze.. forget wat it is called.. haha..( LooK at The PIcx)...shall not go moe into it..

Finally reach bintan!! yeah.. imediatley after we got down from the bus was greeted by AH HEE and sum passionate youths from bintan as well as the ywd chiefs and also other chapters chief.
we board their cars it was a Mpv----- multi purpose vehicle or 7 seaters and there we are , a step nearer to bintan kai kan!!.. hurrray!!

wah the distance from the jetty to kaikan is pretty near.. we reached kainkan in around 15 mins.. and there we are, overwhelmed by all the passionate youth from bintan , really felt like a vip there.. as was pretty touched by their efforts to really welcomed us all the way along the path right up the stairs to our holding area.. and their songsinging is not jus from their mouth but is from their heart.. sum were pretty excited and screams were heard.. this is sumthing i think we could relaly learn fom them, wat ever theings they being ask to help out, they seldom rejects but take it in their stride.. oh ya forget to mention.. as soon as i step up and saw the majestic gohonzon they had my tears almost broke out.. it was realli majestic.. and the we are distance from us when kneeling is so near to the majestic gohonzon is sumthing i nv experienced before even in singapore as our gohonzon though is majestic at ICA but the distance is not as close as the bintan's de.. *touched*..

it was followed y sum exhibition time wih those new friends as well ad bintan members and we mingled with them, striking cionversation when ever possible though sum of them hardly understand chinese nor english.. had a great session.. knows a no of bintan members and i would say tat their banner are excellent..!! it is not only neat but attractive in their way of designing it as well as the limited resources they have over there.. it jus simply make mi wah all my way out as i walk around the kaikan with the bintan members also asking them to explain sum pics to mi.. and sum of them was in the pix too.. haha..

dialogues soon came to an end as everyone automatically sat down to watch out YOUTH CulTURAL FESTIVAL held at expo ... soON it was dinner time followed by cheers competition from various group each one of them was really in their high life condition..u could see even the friends tat they brough were also as high as them shouting their might for the cheers.. haha it realli makes the festival moves up to a greater peak.. afterwhich, it was then encouragemnt by pak charles.. known as father..in indo.. i think.. haha

YES!! the main hight light.. drama of the sun rise chap put up by members as young as 12 to leaders as young as 15.. was touched by their effort esp there is this part where a ywd would shed her tears as she share with sensei abt her missing japan.. the ywd acted as her role.. really weeap.. is jus so real..must be lotsa effort put into this character.. their curtain were well done manually pull by the leaders as well as their back dropm was made using recycled white clothe but it is done so nicely tat it look like a perfect pieace of backdrop.. there is lots of other detail there is really encouraging which if ya wanna know.. look mi up ye.. got skit accompanied by sum comercial whereby ther is a dance of bu pai bu pai by kwok mei mei performed by members as young as 12 yrs old and wats more encouraging is that they volunteered themselves to performed.. looks so cute when they performing haha.. also another dance, morigasaki beach.. was a ballet kinda dance pretty similar to ycf de.. but they are as young as 13 yet can dance such manner.. is really admirable.. haha.. the mood is getting highest at the end whereby they had a grand finale singing YI qi zuo dao by stephanie sun.. and tons and tons of pic.. with various oses.. haha.. (waiting for xingjie to disimeate photos to us.. ha

During this trip i was asked to share my impression during the impression session was pretty nervous toking to a crowd of 30 plus youth whu sare mostly leaders..hehe but well i did it pretty well by saeing ur had created a miracle.. lets create another miracle!!

Felt really overjoyed when the chairman of the show com announced the no of attendance for the festival.. it was 348.. which mskes up of 200 plus new friend and 108 members... great JOB!

throughout this exchange i it had really make mi revitalise my spirit to follow sensei tieing our mento and disciple knots, reading more nhr to understand how he do kofu as well as how he handles members question, the spirit he has and also from the bintan members, their purness at heart, thir sincereity in paying details to every lil thing even to the extent of out bath romm as they feel they is rather run down.. but to us.. is sumthing worth experienceing and is not that bad after all.. the Byakuren actually decorate the toilet with flowers, moth balls as well as candles.. was pretty romantic in a way... but is like u see the effort in every lil thing they do.. all of them i believe did it from their hearts to relali ensure us tat we are comfortable in every way tat they could satisfy us.. and i was really grateful for tat.. been thanking ah fang as she is the byakuren chief.. for all hers gers effort... was so touched.. though the candle went off after sum time..

Felt so recharge esp hearing from them their homevistation took several hrs and transport was pretty diffcult so they gotta take several buses to reach a members house to invite them down.. for this festival.. in singapore the furthers is only 1 and half hr.. and transport for us is easi unlike theirs.. yet their spirit is mich higher den us.. really a great time to Ponder.. thru..



Is getting 4 30 in the morning ... hmm got to go slp le.. if not tmr.. cfm.. dark rings.. oppx.. jus used a facial mask brought from sasa .. pretty shiok.. have nv felt so pampered till todae.. bought it with venna after our overtime..

all right tat all for now... ciaoz my fellow peeps....
